I Became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating

  Chapter 24 Ji Family

   "Mother?" Ji Zhao turned around slightly, and lowered his head in shame.

  The original owner was too stupid to be tricked by Zhao Xian.

   Thinking that the original owner gave all the money stolen from the Shen family to Zhao Xian, Ji Zhao's heart ached to death!

  She strongly doubts whether the original owner has Stockholm syndrome!

  Zhao Lanhua suddenly took her right hand and looked carefully.

   "In the future, you need to be clever when hitting people. Look, your hands are swollen." Zhao Lanhua said earnestly.

   "I see, mother." Ji Zhao smiled lightly, feeling much more relaxed.

  The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickened their pace and finally arrived at Shiliu Village at the beginning of Sishi.

  The location of Shiliu Village is still a bit remote compared with Shanghe Village. More importantly, Shiliu Village is built on the mountain, and there is no water source nearby, and cracks appeared in the dry fields of every household.

  Everything that can be eaten in the village has been dug up.

  Ji’s house is located at the end of the village. It is a low three-room loess house surrounded by fences.

  There are two pomegranate trees planted in front of the gate.

  The pomegranate tree that was supposed to be lush with branches and leaves was too dry and listless, looking very desolate.

  Ahem—

  A thick and heavy cough came from the room on the left, interrupting Ji Zhao's thoughts.

   "It seems that your grandfather's illness is still not cured," Zhao Lanhua frowned and sighed sadly.

   "Yeah." Ji Zhao pushed open the fence door, and called out with a smile, "Grandma, grandma, are you at home?"

   "Yes, yes!" Xie, who was packing firewood in the kitchen, hurried out, "A Tao, is that you?"

   "Well, grandma, I'm back." Ji Zhao smiled politely, and asked softly, "Grandma, my mother-in-law is also here, please help me entertain? Leave the work in the kitchen to me."

   "Hey, my mother-in-law is here too?" Mrs. Xie caught a glimpse of Zhao Lanhua with a pastry in her hand, and smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, "Hurry up, hurry up, come in and sit down!"

   Mrs. Xie welcomed Zhao Lanhua into the back room very enthusiastically.

  The back room of Ji’s house is very simple, with only two faded red benches and a square table with twisted corners.

   "Mother-in-law, there is nothing good in the house, there is only a handful of white sugar left, you will just drink it?" Mrs. Xie quickly poured a glass of sugar water for Zhao Lanhua.

  Even the large porcelain bowl filled with sugar water is missing corners.

  Ji's family is really poor.

"You are too polite," Zhao Lanhua sat down with a smile, and put the two packs of pastries in her hand on the table, "I don't know what kind of pastries you like, so I took two packs of sesame crisps , try something new!"

"Oh, my mother-in-law, you are too polite..." Mrs. Xie said with a smile, "We are already very grateful that you brought A Tao back to us... If the old man hadn't been too sick, I would have been reluctant Let A Tao marry someone..."

Mrs. Xie suddenly began to wipe away tears, and choked up sadly, "Yesterday, I also heard that A Tao did some things that were sorry for Shen San, and it was because of us that we couldn't teach him well... But to see the old man, we have already spent the two dollars. Two betrothal gifts..."

  The corners of Zhao Lanhua's eyes couldn't help twitching twice.

   It seems that the old lady has misunderstood.

"You misunderstood, I didn't ask for money." Zhao Lanhua hurriedly said to appease, "A Tao is very good, and she didn't do anything to apologize to my third child. Those are gossiping women deliberately telling stories. Don't Listen to their nonsense."

   "Really? Really?" Xie stopped crying, looking very surprised.
